Sewer Camera Inspection in Riverside, CA

Plumbing MATTers Rooter & Plumbing Services

Your sewer line is buried, so the only way to know what’s really going on inside it is to look. A sewer camera inspection puts a waterproof camera inside the pipe so we can see roots, cracks, sags and buildup directly. That means no guessing and no digging to find out.

We show you the footage, explain what it means, and tell you whether the line needs cleaning, repair or nothing at all.

Call (909) 714-2207 to schedule a sewer camera inspection.

When a camera inspection makes sense

Clogs keep coming back after the drain’s been cleared
Several drains are slow or backing up at the same time
Gurgling toilets or water coming up in the tub when you flush
Sewage smell in the house or yard
You have big trees near the sewer line, or roots have been a problem before
Before a sewer repair, to know exactly where the problem is and how big it is
After hydro jetting, to confirm the line is fully clear

What the camera can find

Tree roots growing into joints and cracks
Cracked or broken pipe
Offset or separated joints
Bellies, low spots where the pipe has sagged and waste collects
Collapsed sections
Corrosion and scale inside old cast iron pipe
Deformed Orangeburg pipe in older homes
Grease buildup and other blockages
Objects that shouldn’t be in the line

How it works

Access the line. We feed the camera in through a cleanout or other access point. If your home doesn’t have a usable cleanout, we can install one.
Inspect. We push the camera along the line and watch the live picture as it goes.
Review the footage with you. We show you what we found and explain it in plain language.
Recommend next steps. Sometimes the line just needs hydro jetting or drain cleaning. Sometimes it needs a spot repair or replacement. And sometimes it’s fine and you don’t need to do anything.

Why look before you dig

Without a camera, a sewer repair is guesswork. You could be replacing pipe that’s fine, or clearing a clog that comes right back because the pipe underneath is broken. Seeing the problem first means the fix matches the problem, and you only pay for the work you actually need.

Residential and commercial

We camera-inspect sewer lines for homes and for businesses of all kinds, including restaurants, offices, retail and multi-unit properties. See our commercial plumbing page.

Sewer camera inspection FAQs

Do I get to see the footage?

Yes. We’ll show you what the camera found and walk you through it.

Does a camera inspection fix the problem?

No. It shows what the problem is. Depending on what we find, the next step might be hydro jetting, a spot repair, a full replacement, or nothing at all.

Do I need a cleanout?

The camera needs a way into the line, and a cleanout is the easiest one. If your home doesn’t have a usable cleanout, we can install one.

Can the camera see tree roots?

Yes. Roots are one of the most common things we find. The footage shows where they’re getting in, which tells us whether cleaning will hold or the pipe needs repair.

Client Testimonials

Matt installed a new water heater for me. He was very helpful and polite. He responded quickly and he was extremely knowledgeable. He offered a great value for the services he performed, his quotes are much cheaper than his competitors. He was extremely professional. He arrived on time, got the job done quickly and explained everything thoroughly, and cleaned up afterwards. I would definitely hire him again for any future plumbing needs.

Matt was awesome! He was at my house within 30 minutes, instead of enjoying his day off. He repaired my leak at the water meter. He was cordial, professional, timely and reasonably priced. I have a list of other items I want him to fix! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great plumber! Lyn, Corona resident

I came home from work to a massive leak coming from my water heater and tried calling about a million other plumbers with no luck! I called Plumbing MATTers Rooter and Plumbing Services and was greeted by a pleasant gentleman who was available within the hour! Matt was able to replace my water heater that same day too and at a great price! He was very knowledgeable and professional, I will 100% be recommending to friends and family!

I found Plumbing Matters Rooter and Plumbing services online via Yelp. I filled out the quick quote survey and Matthew responded almost immediately. He was very straightforward, provided a quote right then and there and said if he’s not able to unclog my toilet then there’s no charge to me. He also happened to be in the area so he swung over the same day like 30 minutes later. Matthew was awesome - very professional, courteous and friendly. Got my toilet back up and running after he got out a toothbrush (of all things!) that my son must have flushed down the toilet. He also showed me how I can fix issues like this in the future on my own by buying a tool at Home Depot. I would definitely definitely recommend these guys!!

Matthew Hodkinson of Plumbing MATTers came over and replaced my toilet! He also explained everything to me as he went along. He was professional and gave me a really good price! I will definitely use him in the future for any of my plumbing needs!! Thanks, Kathy!

What a great plumbing company! Matt came out to my home right away and took care of a big sewer problem. All my toilets were backed up! Matt was knowledgeable and cleared the sewer line from the roof vent. I am so glad I called Plumbing MATTers. The pricing is fair and the costumer service is outstanding! I highly recommend.
